Single Family Homes or Multifamily? Where should I start?

[Mark Millich]

I'm looking to invest in my first property, but don't know where to start.  I'm going back and forth between single family and multifamily homes. While the multifamily may cost more, it seems to me to be the better investment since you're obviously getting multiple units. I'm finding some very decent multifamily homes for around the same price as some singles as well. I'm taking into account the expenses as well on these - property taxes, vacancy, insurance, mortgage etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
